Wages not keeping in step with inflation is exactly why everything seems so expensive. $30k of today’s money is the equivalent of less than $10k in the 80’s, and cars were more than $10K then except for a few that ended up being examples of “you get what you pay for”.
I should probably state that as “wage increases being suppressed”.
Don’t worry, she won’t bother taking that piece of shit.
